Hey guys,

Have the following items to flog:

1 x S14 5 speed gearbox rather noisy on idle, runs EXCELLENT, no crunching no funny business what so ever other than the noise at idle.

As soon as the clutch is engaged or the car is driven its entirely silent. Could have been the clutch? I turfed the clutch that was ROOTED beyond use when I did the engine swap and used my spare gearbox. I suspect the intermediate bearing, if you know how to pull the box down it is a $20 fix.

The internals are all solid, no excessive play in the input shaft, and the oil that was drained did not have signs of wear (no shavings, no metallic residue).

$200 FIRM. Pickup syd or ship at entirely your expense and effort.

You know what it looks like.

4 x 17x7 FOX racing rims with Dunlop lemans 702 tyres

Have only travelled 600km from new, was on a mates weekender that never gets driven. Hes now going for the sleeper look and swapped out for his stockies again.

$700, again ship at entirely your expense and effort.

The tyres are worth more alone. Would suit some of the NA kids of someone with silvia base that want cheap reasonable rims with excellent tyres. 2 minor scratches for careless parking, cry moar.

Cheers!

Getting a few of the same questions in PM, will add info here.

Box was removed after noise developed. New motor, gearbox, clutch etc was installed, so I cannot verify that the box was infact the noise maker.

The input shaft has very little freeplay which is normal, after a brief inspection I am assuming the intermediate bearing is what is causing the sound.

And for those wanting to ask this, no you cannot put it in and live with it like that :( it will when it is otherwise a good gearbox in need of a minor fix.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
